Today is already my 3rd day as GIU Gal!
Wow only 4 days to go. The last 2 days trying my hand at sharing my craft has been really fun. At home my time has been spent strictly on my craft space. I took over about half of the kitchen. I am trying to put everything in a compact organized space. We really downsized and I feel it! My husband brought every craft item I own... Seeing it all is overwhelming. I made a promise to myself to only buy Unity Stamps and adhesive in 2018. I hope you all get some inspiration by my projects this week!
Please remember to comment each of the 7 days to be entered into a drawing to win Unity Stamps!!!
Have a great day!
Shannon
